Entered In the postoffice at Bemidil. Minn., as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM According to the Blackduck American, the Blackduck Times is to be ‘‘born again,” and E. J. Taylor will dothe resurrecting, The American says concerning the supplyirg of the ‘‘long-felt want:’’ “The Blackduck Timss}is going to be resurrected by E.J.Tay- lor. The latter is moving the outfit which has been used in printing the now defunct Enter- prise at Bemidji, to this village and will once more try his luck in Blackduck, Whether or not the village islarge enough to support two papers the future alone can tell. We hope it is, although we have not noticed any remarkable growth nor change of conditions during the past fourteen months, and the Ameri can, which remained in business here when the Times were dull, is ready to welcome the Times back from the grave with the hope that it will prove a paying venture this time for its enter- prising publisher,” Brether Taylor has come to the front with the ‘Enterprise.” (presumably a Blackduck publi- cation, as the plantused here was removed ten days ago), and states that he will continue to publish the paper. The earmarks of the vitrolic Oyler are noticeable in the last ‘“Enterprise’’ received, otherwise the paper has no re. 83mblance whatever to the pub- lication that died in Bemidji. The recent publication in the Pioneer relative tothe request of Congressman Steenerson for the names of old soldiers who were entitled to an advance of the sum they received for pen- sion, $I2, has caused some inquiry as to the provisions and requirements of the bill passed by congress authorizing this increase. All old soldiers over the age of 62, beginning at the rate of $12 a month, are to be increased to $15 per month at the age of 65, and to$20 per month at the age of 70.'* This is a material advance over the pres- ent rates, and also more directly recognizes age alone asa con- clusive claim to pension, to be obtained without any payment to pension agents. A man of 62 was but 20 years of age when the civil war ended, so the new rule will apply to nearly all survivors who wore the blue uniform in the great conflict. It is an act of justice and of honor where it is due. Cass Lake, Bemidji, Crookston and Warren are all after the lo- cation for the new normal school. There is most likely to be some tall hustling for the location of the new institution, and probably some hard feeling will be caused between these towns before the matter is settled. Now to avoid all scrapping we suggest that Hallock be selectedas the location for the new schol.—Hallock : Weekly News, As for “hard fceling,” there { will be none harbored in Bemidji (towards the other towns, We, {1 Bemidji, are good losers, and | We can accept a winning with be coming modesty. Bemidjl has a good hand to exhibit when it {comes to the ‘‘show down,” and if the ‘‘game’’is on the ‘“‘square,” asd no one is “holding out’ a ‘t.rump card, Bemidji will be in at the “call.” Representative W, L. Case of ! Cloquet has ntroduced a bill in the house requiring the annual removal of all slashings and re- fuse left from logging operations on timber lands in the state. The bill orders the burning or removal of all combustable mate. rial before May 15th. of each year, to prevent danger to timber left standing and other property. A fine of $10 to $100 is provided. This bill is along the lines of of the law propesed by the Com- mercial Club of Northorue, which was published in the Pioneer recently. The measure will undoubtedly receive strong opposition from the various lumbering companies who are engaged in logging in the state. VICTORY FOR BAILEY. Texas Assembly Adopts Substitute to Investigation Resolution. Austin, Tex., Jan. 21.—By a vote of 65 to 656 the lower branch of the Texas state legislature has adopted the Kennedy substitute to the Dun- can resolution looking to an in- vestigation of United States Senator J. W. Bailey and his connection and assoclations with the Waters-Plerce 0il company. The substitute provides that a spe- cial committee of seven shall be ap- pointed by the speaker to pass upon any charges preferred against Senator Bailey, and if in the judgment of said committee it becomes necessary to hold sessions at any distant date or point, ©or summon any special wit- nesses, they shall have the option of doing so., This substitute was drafted by friends of Senator Balley, so that its adoption may be looked upon as a Bailey victory. DAVID P. DYER, JR., ACQUITTED. Found Not Guilty of Having Embez- zled Government Funds. St. Louls, Jan. 21.—David P. Dyer, Jr., son of the United States district attorney and a teller in the local sub- treasury, was acquitted by a jury in the United States district court on a charge of having embezzled $61,600 of government funds. The jury was out five hours and the verdict was greeted with cheers, the courtroom being filled with friends of the Dyer family and federal employes. Dyer’s defense was that, while ad mitting that his books showed a short age of the amount stated in the indict- ment and that he had falsified the records to cover the discrepancy, that he had no knowledge of how the short- age occurred and that he had re- frained from reporting it in the hope that he could find and correct the mis- take.

A Freshman, i A freshman who had entered one of the large universities and was not much accustomed to the ways either of institutions of learning or of citles was returning late one evening from a lecture. When near his lodgings he was halted by two masked men, who “held him up” in true metropolitan style. One of the men leveled the convention- al revolver at the young man, while the other relieved him of his watch, pocketbook and other valuables. He made no mention of the matter to any- body at the time, but a few days later he reported it to the president of the university. “It wasn't a great deal,” he said, “but it was more than I like to lose, and I think It's an outrage to treat a boy that way.” “Why dldn’t you tell me of this soon- er?” asked the president. “I supposed they would bring the things back to me next morning,” he answered. “It was a couple of sopho- mores hazing me, wasn’t 1t?’—Youth’s Companion. Weary Watches. “l suppose,” sald the watchmaker, “you do not know that watches, like human beings, sometimes don’t ‘go’ for the very good reason that they are tired. Sometimes a watch is brought to me which is all right. Nothing about it 1s out of order, and it is fairly clean, When it becomes sulky and refuses to go except by fits and starts the best thing to do is to lay it aside and give it a_rest. The mechanism in a ‘tired watch seems to be in perfect condition, but it won’t work. The fact is that long and faithful service has thrown 1t slightly out of adjustment in perhaps ten different places. Scraping and cleaning and readjusting a fine watch is the worst thing that could be done to it. A montl’s rest will instead cause the works slowly to readjust them- selves, and at the end of that time after careful oiling the watch will go as cheerfully as ever.”—Washington Star. Big Game Birds, The capercailzie, or “black game bird of Norway,” is one of the largest spe- cles of game birds in the world, being very hardy and frequently attaining a weight exceeding fifteen pounds, but when the birds are young they are easy prey of hawks. The birds are what are known as “rangers” for the reason that while In quest of food they cover a wide expanse of territory. During perlods of heavy snowfall they burrow Into the snow and remain until the storm subsides before venturing out again. Their food in winter con- sists chiefly of birch buds, and in sum- mer they catch mice and other small animals. They are rated as members of the grouse family and in habits are much like the partridge.—Forest and Stream. Patti’s First Audience, Adelina Patti once gave the follow- Ing account of her first audience: At 8ix years of age I was a prima.donna of the nursery. When I had been put to bed on my return home with my father and mother from the opera I used to make sure that they and the rest of the family were asleep, and then I would hop out from beneath the counterpane and fancy myself a great cantatrice, bowing before the plaudits| of a huge audience. I admit my audi- ence was a little apathetic, but, after all, that s not to be wondered at, for they were only a row of dolls which I had ranged on chairs before me. Turks and Meerschaum. According to the best authorities upon the subject, the idea of using ‘white talc in the manutacture of pipes I8 of comparatively recent date com- pared with the age of the habit of smoking, and what is still more curlous is the fact that in the orlental coun- tries which produce white tale, or meerschaum, as it is+called, and where the use of tobacco forms part of the education of the faithful the people never dream of making this substance into pipes. They make bowls and goblets of it, but no pipes. It may be that the loag pipestems which allow the smoke to cool and lose its acridity before reaching the mouth leave the oriental smoker quite indifferent In re- gard to the quality of the bowl. = At all events, one pever sees a Turk with a meerschaum pipe. Enormous Lifting Power, The shelless limpet pulls 1,984 times its own: welght when in the air and about. double when measured in the water.,: Fleas pull 1,493 times thelr own dead welght. The Mediterranean cockle, Venus verrucosa, can exert a pulling power equal to 2,071 times the weight of its own body. So great Is the power possessed by the oyster that to open it a force equal to 1,819.5 times the welight of Its shelless body Is re- quired. If the human being possessed strength as great in proportion as that of these shellfish the average man would be able to lift the enormous weight of 2,976,000 pounds, pulling in the same degree as the limpet. And if the man pulled In the same propoe- tlonate degree as the cockle he would sustain a weight of no less than 8,106, 500 pounds. Protective Colors of Animals, I seem to trace a faint clew to the connection between the protective eol- oring and the mind in the intense de sire of the fox to remain concealed and unseen. That this ls a possible theory we Infer from the fact that a blind animal does not change color. Put a dozen minnows into an ordinary ‘white wash hand basin and they. will In a very short time be of a pale color. If over one no change passes we may be tolerably certain that it is blind.— From Dale’s “The Fox.” Guess Again, “I have a pleasant surprise for you, Miss Sharply.” “Can I guess what it Is, Mr. Bore- some?” “You may try, Miss- Sharply.” *Let me see. I guess you are going to tell me that you intended leaving the city.” “Good night, Miss Sharply.” “Good night, Mr. Boresome.”—Cleve- land Plain Dealer. Monotonous. “Wealth has its disadvantages,” sald the philosopher. “Yes,” answered the man with sport- ing inclinations. “It must be very mo- notonous for a man to be able to bet $5,000 or $10,000-on a horse race with- out caring whether he loses it or not.” —Washington Star. i MAKES A SPIRITED ADDRESS. President Mitchell of the Mine Work- ers Defends His Position. Indianapolls, Jan. 21.—President Mitchell made a spirited address te the United Mine Workers’ eighteenth annual convention here, defending the position taken by him in the strike settlement last year. The convention adopted a resolution pledging support to Moyer and Heywood, the impris- oned Idaho miners. The convention also adopted a resolution voting $1,000 to the victims of the Clinton (Ind.) mine disaster and sidetracked the resolution attacking Indiana State Mine Inspector Epperson by referring it back to the Indlana delegation. Indicted for Land Frauds. Salt Lake City, Jan. 21.—The fed- eral grand jury which has beea inves- tigating alleged coal and timber land frauds has returned a number ef in- dictments. One indictment is agatmst Don C. Robbins, one of the oldest eeal prospectors in the state, d another is against Edwin W. Senior, a land attorney. They are charged with con- spiring to secure coal lands from the government by fraud. MARKET QUOTATIONS. Minneapolis Wheat. Minneapolis, Jan. 19.—Wheat—May, 19%@79%¢c; July, 79%¢c.

In Doubt, On a famous rifie range there was an important team match one day, and the men were firing in pairs, one for each team, side by side. The best shot on the home team was given to alming so long that bets were made on ‘whether or not he had gone to sleep at the firimg~point. Presently he with- drew his head from the stock of his rifle, lowered the barrel and asked his opponent in a low voice: “Did I fire or did you?"—Forest and Stream. ‘Work and Fatigue. What fatigues the motive power is getting to work. Once the mind s fas- cinated and the fleld of consclousness restricted to a single object the braln works without exhausting itself. Let us apply ourselves for a good time to whatever we do and have several hours of sustained labor. By quitting the task to dream, to smoke a clgarette or to watch a fly one becomes exhausted. —Paris Revue. Might Have Made a Killing. A physician took it into his head to 80 rabbit shooting. About 4 o’clock in the afternoon he returned, tired out and empty handed, telling his wife that he hadn’t killed a thing. Thereupon she remarked: “I told you so. If you had stayed at home and attended to your legitimate business you might have been more successful.”—Chicago News. Butler Wanted the Brief. ‘While E. 0. Carrigan was in General B. P. Butler’s law office a lady came In to ask some advice. As the general was not in, Mr. Carrigan questioned her and told her he would submit her case to the general, which he did. The general was to leave the next day for Washington and told Mr. Car- rigan to prepare a brief of the lady’s case and show it to him the next day. Mr. Carrigan sat up half of the night writing his brief. The next morning, about fifteen minutes before Butler was to take his carriage for the train, be told Mr. Carrigan he would look at his brief and give his opinion. Mr. Carrigan began by saying: “Gen- eral, I hfive made a most careful study of this case. I have the points all in my head and can state them to you in three minutes.” “Let me have the brief,” again sald the general, somewhat sharply. “But, General Butler,” sald Mr. Car rigan, “I had a briet prepared and In- tended to show it to you, but I bave left it at home on my table. However, as I said, I have all the points of the casein my head.” “Young wan,” sald the general, “the ‘next time you have a brief to prepare for me bring me the brief and leave your head at home on the table."—" Boston Herald. dred pages.
